Welcome to the Suntan Lotion page, if you like enjoying the sun and sun
bathing then suntan lotion is an essential purchase as the dangers of sun
burn are well documented, skin damage and even cancer are risks you take
if you sunbathe without sun tan lotion.
The important aspect of sun tan lotion is the factor of protection that it offers,
this is stated as a number and is a multiplication of the skins normal protection.
So if the sun tan lotion has a factor of 15 then it will provide 15 times the
amount of protection that your skin has naturally and will therefore take 15
times s long to burn. The factor that you buy depends on your skin type with
fair skin needing more protection, you should always err on the side of caution
though so a factor of 15 is a good choice.
There are also lots of other tanning creams and lotions that you can buy online
including creams that offer a fake tan, these generally build slowly over time
and there are some creams that offer a slow building fake tan and sun block with
a high factor which are excellent.
